The little cutie pictured here is Shayla, and the big cutie is her father, actor/singer/model Tyrese Gibson! The 34-year-old recently posted this photo to his Twitter page, captioned, “What does a REAL STAR look like???”

Tyrese is separated from Shayla’s mother, whom he shares joint custody with. In January he shared his thoughts on single parenthood writing, “Fathers, even if you and the mother of your child are not on the same page, you still have to do your part! …We all can make babies, but it takes a man to raise them and do [his] part. I repeat, do your part.”

And then, “To all single women that are doing the job of both mother and father, I love you and you are truly queens of our earth. A lot of women don’t know that they’re doing it, but they use their kids as weapons towards their fathers. This is just horrible. That’s who you decided to have that child with. It’s not the kids’ fault. Allow that man to be a father especially if he wants to be a father.”

It’s not clear if his thoughts were in regards to his own situation, or just general remarks. He concluded by thanking his ex-wife (Shayla’s mom) for being an amazing mother.
